Will it only have double exhaust? If it will turn out like this I dont like it.
But I hope Porsche will surprise us with the final car...

I just can't see Porsche releasing a 991.2 looking this way. Most people agree that it doesn't look as good (or good, period). Hoping that the exhausts, rear louvers, and overall package improve before being released. I wholeheartedly believe that we'll eventually grow into it and accept it as the next design, but I'm sure as hell glad that my GTS order was secured before waiting for the 991.2.

Sure hope Porsche is fooling everyone, and this car is heavily disguised. They hit it out of the park with the 991. Although I am confident the car will be great to drive. . . If this is the final 991.2 design, I'm not even sure it will grow on me.

We'll see how Porsche spins it--the biggest benefit will be extra low end torque, but at the expense of sound and revs.

No fooling here. This is it. Not loving it. Cayman-ish.

I wonder if they redid the aero/side mirrors enough to fix the buffeting problem.

Also it looks like different diameter wheels in rear...may be a new "feature".

I must be getting old... but I miss the old days when the 911 didn't change so much.

Now get off my lawn!

Check it out! Say what you will but it's a half generation better. Love my 2013 CS cab but I'll buy one as soon as it's out. Can't wait to try 7-speed turbo S!
